This mixed media piece is created with recycled newsprint and tissue paper and acrylic paints and inks. The positive headlines and uplifting articles in the recycled newsprint are carefully layered beneath colourful silhouettes that celebrate uplifting aspects of humanity, regardless of culture, race, religion, or ethnicity. The figures stand upon the word HOPE, subtly visible in the background, reinforcing a shared, optimistic theme of connectivity and hope in a world that seems to be slipping away. A HOPE for a future that unites us all.
